THE CAHUENGA.
A Trip Through Ihis most FER
tile valley.

EDITOR HERALD: A trip through the
Cahuenga Valley and foothills will
convince any one that boom will soon
be visiting this most favored of Los An
geles suburbs.
Two dummy railroads, by way of the
new Baptist College and NJ. l.. Wicks'
Ostrich Farm road, are both extending
westward, and outsiders are anxious 10
know just where and how far they are
going. Is line of road to be built
along the Cahuenga foothills to Santa
Mon ca, or is the new town, Holly.
wood, at the Cahuenga Pass, going to be
the terminus! No one seems to know;
but one thing is certain, that the bean
tiful valley extending toward Santa
Monica will soon have equal facilities
for reaching the city as now has Pasa-
dena, San Gabriel and other places in the
great valley along the Sierra Madre TO-
wards San Bernardino.
A party of surveyors have Just passed
through the CahueDga Pass, from Santa
Paula through the Simi Rancho, over
the San Susannah Pass, San Fernando
Valley and Easino. Their last stake.
No. 396, is stuck one mile this side OF
Cahuenga Pass, when the party left for
Los Angeles to await further instruc-
tions. The late large sales of the Simi.
Canajo and other Ventura county
ranches probably has something to do
with this survey.
The farmers are busy cutting and
curing their hay, the quality OF which is
excellent, although the quantity Is less
than usual. Potatoes, tomatoes, green
peas, string-beans and other vegetables.
for which the Cahuenga foothills are so
well known, are being brought 10 mar
ket at lively rate, and the industrious
farmer who has not yet cut his land up
into town lots is making money.
That o town should be located some-
where near the Cahuenga Pass has lonr
been agitated as a necessity, and land
has been bonded at good prices with
such in view. Several sites have been
suggested, but it seems that Hollywood.
located on gentle slope, immediAtelv
south OF the Cahuenga Pass, is destined
to become the future city of the Ca
huenga. Surveyors will soon be in the
field. One hundred feet wide avenues-
with pure water piped to every lot, viii
be among the features that will com
mend Hollywood to, those seeking
health and pleasure. IN rural home
within a short distance Of the city.

SUDDEN DEATH.
DIR. J.. y. Ra,Ser Succumhs to
Heart Disease.

tacart Dlsehsts
The community was startled yester-
day by the announcement that DIR. j. s.
Baker, a well known and popular ply
sioian of this city, had died suddenly
of heart disease. Investigation proved
this to be only too true. The doctor
has long been subjected to attacks of
heart disease and his demise was not
nearly so unexpected to his family and
intimate friends as to the outside world.
Y yesterday afternoon he went home, Sl4
Hill street, feeling badly and decided to
30 10 bed. just as he was in the act of
undressing himself he fell over on the
aioor dead. II is merciful that his suf.
he went before his maker Unexpectedly
hut with a clean record. There are
many who will sorrow for tho untinely
death of DR.. Baker, and his wife and
child have the heartfelt sympathy of a
large circle of friends. DR.. Baker was
native of Kentucky and was forty'two
years of age. He came to Los Angeles
in 1883 aud engaged in the practice OF
medicine He was, two years ago,
elected City Health Officer which posi-
tion he filed in a most admirable man
ner, and it is TO his splendid manage
ment of the late smallpox that there
was no epidemic. DIR. Baker was acting
Health Officer when the smallpox first
made its appearance. He was Knight
Templar and the Masonic fraternity will
conduct his funeral, which will take
place tomorrow. The City Council,
city officials and police force will also
attend the funeral in body Regrets
are unavailing, but in the death of DIR.
Baker Los Angeles has lost good citi'
zen and an experienced, conscientious
physician.

Professor Carpenters mesmerio per.
formance at the Opera House last night
excited considerable wonder, as we'll as
amused those who were present. From
the time the victims of the Professor
went upon the stage until the conclusion
of the performance, the laughter was
continuous, as we'll IL might be, for the
antics of the people under mesmeric in.
fiuonce were very comical, to say the
least. The sight of q man, known in the
community, who at the bidding Of an
other cannot open his eyes or drop a
cane, or stop twirling his hands, was
enough to make everybody laugh. The
talk which this one performance made
will fill the Opera House for the rest Of
the week.

Not Enough Isain-Danae of
Continuous Dryness.

CHICAGO, May ID. Following is the
weekly crop report printed by the
Farmers Rerie,c: Our reports for the
last week show that while some local.
titles were favored with seasonabie
rains, Others, and the greater number,
are needing rain, and that in its con-
tinued absence, the crops will suffer
seriously. Reports on the condition OF
the winter wheat say il continues fairly
favorable. While this showing, oh the
whole is fairly good for the time, those
reports were forwarded. 1t remains a
fact that the continuous dry weather
will materially reduce these percentages
of conditions. Throughout almost the
entire territory covered by our reports
the meadows and pastures are reported
as needing rain.

capabiiity. A special feature of the new

AN interesting feature of the county
fair will be a number of fish known as
German carp which Mr.. August Klessig
of Centerville has promised to place on
exhibition. Some years ago Mr.. Klessig
began the experiment in a small way of
propagating that species of fish and so
well has he succeeded that some of the
specimens which will be placed on exhi-
bltlon have attained length of three feet.
Secretary Smart will have suitable tank
placed IN position on the fair grounds
and 1t is safe to predict that the fish will
attract much attention.
